Гибсон Чан — Книга 1: Песнь моей духовной жизни (шаги пути), занятие 18

[Speaker 1]
I hope it's easy, it's too early for a hard homework. The number one question is when Je Tsongkhapa talks about the benefit of patience, he's mainly focused on the patience when someone tries to hurt you, and there are four benefits of it. What are they?

Grandpa doesn't have to answer homework, right? That's a rule, right? Yeah, yeah.

You know everything. No, I don't. That's why I don't know.

Okay, so the first one, I give you the hint. It's when someone tries to hurt them, they will make them as a beautiful jewelry. Okay, that's all.

So, the first one is person who has patience got a power. Those bodhisattvas are really strong. They can carry on those harm and make them as a jewelry.

So, it's true, beautiful on them. And the second one, the benefit is about the Tibetan called Gatuk. It's the best tapas or something like that.

Yeah, the best tapas. Cool.

[Speaker 2]
The most difficult practice. Yeah. Not to get upset.

[Speaker 1]
So, among all the difficult spiritual practice, the patience is the top one. And the root is the offering, which Tibetan, I forget what is the offering for Tibetan. And say it is the antidote for the torment of excessive heat by things that involve negative emotion.

Oh, Gibson. Yeah. The word offering here, which is phu.

Oh, phu. It means highest. It doesn't mean offering.

Oh. Yeah, in this case. Okay, okay.

Okay. So, when I translate, do I need to include those? You can say the ultimate difficult practices.

Oh, okay, okay. Thank you. Okay.

So, the next one is about the enemy. There are metaphor two or three animals involved. Snake?

Poisonous snake? Yeah, poisonous snake and Naga. And Geruda.

And Geruda. So, what is the metaphor? So, the metaphor is Geruda is like a patient and they can defeat the anger, which represent by snake and Naga.

Okay. Mexican flag? Yeah, Mexican flag.

All right. So, the number four. The full benefit is that you put on the...

Armor? Body armor? Yeah, put on the strong armor.

Oh, good. So, when somebody say something bad to you, then the armor can maybe penetrate. That's a nice word.

That's a nice translation, penetrate. Okay. So, the next one.

It's also about the benefits. Just in this case, when Je Tsongkhapa talks about the benefit of joyful effort, he's mainly focused on the armor of joyful effort. So, what are the full benefit of it?

Your dream will be successful.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Projects and dreams happen.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. The first one is you are unstoppable and firm. And what does this refer to, Geshe-la?

If you put on the armor of joyful effort, then your joyful effort will be unstoppable and firm. I guess. Yeah.

And the second benefit is like waxing moon. Does anybody know why?

[Speaker 2]
Your qualities grow and grow and grow and grow.

[Speaker 1]
There are particular two skills will grow higher and higher. It's called dentang dou. Learning and actual practice will increase higher and higher.

Like a waxing moon. Cool. Cool.

Okay. Yeah. And someone says a correct answer about the mentioned about the third one is when everything you do will become meaningful.

You undertake will always be meaningful. And what happened after you finish?

[Speaker 2]
You accomplish the goals.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. You'll always see the end of the project. And the outcome will just like what you think in your mind.

Right. Okay. So the third question is we are now in the six perfection section.

And the Chodin Nama give each perfection the particular verb about it. So what is it? I like this question.

So what is the first perfection? Chimpa. Yeah.

Chimpa. Chimpa. And what does Chodin Nama use in this case?

Chimpa Ching. No. Gong?

Is it Gong Zu? Gong Zu. No.

Gong Zu is in the other case. But you are right because three of six are Gong. So it's a Dong.

Yeah. Chimpa Dong. Chimpa Dong.

Okay. So in this case, I translate that how to make effort in the act of giving or act of sharing. By the way, if you mispronounce Chimpa and you make it first column, Chimpa.

Chimpa Dong. No, no. You're correct.

But I'm saying if you do mispronounce it, it means PP. PP. Chimpa Dong is completely different.

All right. So what is the second perfection in Tibet? Nice.

I like this question. Chu Ching. Yeah.

And how the Chuninama design for this particular verb? Gong. No, no, no.

Gong. Nice gesture. Yeah.

It's a sense of protect. How to protect. So what is a Tibetan for protect?

Chum. Sum. Sum.

Yeah. Sum. Nice.

I love this question. So in English, Geshe-la say we can translate how to keep the ethical way of life. Yeah.

Great. So what is the third perfection? Supa.

Supa. Supa. And?

Gong. Gong. We had that in the famous story.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Gong. Gong. Okay.

So in this case, we translate as how to keep the patient and... Keep your patients hot. Hot?

Okay. I'm just teasing. Okay.

So what is the fourth one? Tsun zhu? Yeah.

Tsun zhu. I love this question. Did I say that?

Tsun zhu. Tsun zhu. Yeah.

Tsun zhu. So the translation is how to keep the joyful effort. Can I say this one?

Emily, tell your husband to change hot to howl. Howl. In these two sentences.

That was my joke. I just... Okay.

I didn't realize. all right and what what is the fifth one yeah so what is the how to practice the concentration nice okay and the final one how to meditate meditate wisdom okay okay she show she show yeah for some first class nation efficacious wave yes I like that that's a good translation yeah this is your suggestion seeming not turning back yeah in this case if you have joyful ever you won't turn it back by the way Gibson the men in chairman dog is not an end okay okay here is my translation a good job on a homework thank you I think Arizona air makes you more intelligent I think so where is my translation no not this one 31 I think we're at 31 okay yeah oh I'm sorry root verse 31 all right so in a regular parentheses okay okay let me read first yep okay me but it's a baby something you you're on key Sena to do but sing one you a couple double-dip yeah you gotta I mean I'm not I don't suggest you rewrite it now but okay you thought this shimba one your means you can tell your mind what to do like a good dog okay and so you know if you have a polite dog like Jeru you can tell the dog what to do and they will obey you and and in in this sentence we're supposed to get that feeling like you can tell your mind what to do and it will listen to you okay so you can boss you can boss your mind or you can be the boss of your own mind and then you know when we're tired or upset then the mind just doesn't obey us like a bad dog you know so can I use the feeling you have to catch in this first sentence but the words are correct all the words are can I use the word direct direct your mind no I don't think so because that implies to send it in a certain direction okay you have to find a word which means you can control your mind oh and normally we cannot control our mind just goes where it wants to go like a bad dog okay the next one good so that can you go up one line yeah there you go so that the shock but here is past tense what's the present tense joke joke so joke means to put your mind into deep concentration you see I mean oh you can if you have this you have met a good meditation you can put your mind in deep meditation on an object and it won't be shaken and you got to get this instrumental here by by ching or so it's not that the dullness if your dullness and agitation were unshakable you're in trouble yeah yeah you want I cannot shake by the dullness and by the agitation okay and then that's shock bar is joke bar means to set your mind in when you're sitting on your meditation cushion okay then when you get up means shocked by Tom you let go of the meditation session so shocked by tongue means you you release your focus you release your meditation and it might mean that you get up and go through your day and then you can really do projects well that's that's the meaning so shocked but tongue means if you let go of your meditation session and you get up and start to do stuff then you can you can engage in whatever virtuous projects you want to with good with good energy okay that's gay gay way meet but meet but almost means the goals that you have or projects that you have you can engage in them okay yeah good then ranking do some good with chokes now don't do yeah and mind is good who is that I mean I suggest you find a an English word fool means to it's like to hit a horse to go in a certain direction no it means almost forcefully to push the mind in a certain direction like you say those big ox ox cows in India and they keep hitting it on the side with a stick and to make it to turn direction yeah yeah it's a goading gush a lot yeah it's a good yeah in English it's called a goat that stick that you hit the cow with and the cow is this big stupid thing like your mind and you keep hitting and hitting and then it finally it turns in the direction you want to so okay cool to ruin yeah laser room one means pliable good okay what's the other meaning of lesser or later you guys in meditation retreat yeah it's a diamond way meditation retreat is called Larry and that's an abbreviation of lesser or yeah and and so the retreat itself is called becoming pliable yeah suitable for okay shinjung okay yeah good kitchen dinner this Jen means you can bring it on a certain like good music brings on a certain feeling right when grandpa plays good music before the class in the evening I think it's good music it brings on a certain feeling in English we can say elicit and that's the meaning of Jen here it means it drags out a certain feeling okay okay all right translation is good I'm just giving you more detail okay okay can you read that Tibetan please yeah me pala to do shabay doki loosen shinjung he they were kept a chin 10 true me Jay lazy but how yeah so you have the power to place your mind on an object in single-pointedness and then the power of that okay don't keep the power of that this Jen means it brings on this extraordinary pleasure of being able to control your body and mind very my teacher when he taught shinjung do you guys remember gymnasts yeah he would always he loved to watch the Olympics and he loved to watch the gymnasts jumping around and he'd say oh they got shinjung that shinjung you know so it means like what do you call that they are very flexible or viable viable yeah something like that anyway these are difficult words to translate shinjung because they are feelings yeah and you should go to Jetson coppers yeah steps of the path by the way if you're if you're a mixed nut you don't like this kind of sentence you know it's it's late if you come on don't be lazy tell us don't tell don't read some thousand page book jets Jetson coppers and our man is a thousand pages so could you give us a little more detail it's kind of a lazy thing to say I would say okay all right you got more thank you all right good job I can tell you spend some time on it especially the homework and I love that thing about the verbs for the six perfections that's really really good and I don't think anyone ever wrote them down like that so I've never seen it anywhere okay here we go back to reality yeah okay please read mr. Gibson okay nipa gong to me they touch in a socket go ahead go ahead oh okay uh why don't you read the verse cuz it's good luck okay they touch in an angel one bone now none yen dodging in June to 10 none June a young young and a tacky time to get count a single cello nice did you memorize almost yeah keep going that it's really good to memorize this poem it's very very powerful yeah so how to meditate there's the verb for the fifth perfection right yeah how to meditate on on meditation concentration it starts with these words okay let's go read the let's read one more Gibson and then you can pick on somebody else you earned the right to pick on somebody else thank you okay to the touch in a moon June Bay non-jokey one bone Anki non-yanki dodging sing sing me pala chachi pay the engine do good go to them but da lapo yeah good so that are Shane a after you know this how how the system work nice It's perfect translation. It means in meditation you can stop dullness and agitation.

Outside of meditation you can focus on your projects better, things you want to do in your life, like your wife. What's junpa? Ken.

The honorific word for Ken. Nice. And what's wangpo here?

Power. Here it means lord. Oh, lord.

Those lords of yogis. Those highest of yogis. They jungpa the dra of nam-mye.

They defeat the enemy of destruction. Nice. It's kind of a funny word because he's defining dra jungpa in a different way.

This is the same jung as dra jungpa. The jungpa in dra jungpa means destroyed. This also means that.

Isn't this how dra jungpas become dra jungpas? Yeah, that's true too. And then they can gyun du ten.

Burst ten. What's burst ten? Burst ten.

Keep. Yeah, they can stay in ting and dzin. mikpa tse chik.

Focus on objects, single points. Do you remember grandpa's famous statement about what single-pointed means? Your head is pointed.

It just means one object. I asked my teacher over and over again, what's single-pointed? I thought it was some kind of focus.

And he said, no, no. Single-pointed means one object. And you don't take your mind off one object.

And I thought, wow, that's a cool definition. What's the Sanskrit for tse chik, you guys? Ekagra.

Ekagra. Ekagra. Agra means tip or point.

It's also the name for the city where the Taj Mahal is located. In Agra. All right, good.

Okay, Gibson, this is a short sentence. That's perfect to make a new person suffer. Yeah.

Let me see. Okay. Let's say Irina or Irina.

Are you talking about me? Yes, sorry if I'm interrupting. I'm just listening to Tibetan, really.

That's okay. Let's go. Thank you.

Dini. Can you spell this one? Dini.

This is a mistake here. Sorry.

[Speaker 2]
All right.

[Speaker 1]
You muted yourself. Okay. Otherwise, let's go to another one.

Laya. Laya. Okay.

Start from Dini. Dini. So.

Yeah. So. Yeah.

So. So. So.

So. See. See.

See. See. See.

See. See. See.

See. Mistake. Mistake.

See what's happening here. See what's happening here. See.

That's better. SONG Yeah. NANG NANG ZIN ZIN NONG Thank you.

Thank you Geshe-la. Yeah, good. It's good.

So wang du che means, this is all, my description here is mainly referring to SHI NAS BSGOM PA. The meditation on peacefulness. Shamatha.

Yeah. And the lines about Jetsun, they are NGAR BZHIN. What's that mean?

They have mentioned before. Yeah, can you repeat them? Because it's so important in this poem.

Can you translate, Gibson, the last two lines of the root text here in NGAR BZHIN? Okay, so here's two lines. The first line is mainly talking about Je Tsongkapa himself.

And the second one is the suggestion, advice to the one. So the first one is, NGAR BZHIN is practitioner like me. NGAR BZHIN KYANG NGANG NGANG LEN DE THAG GIS This is how I practice.

THAM DU KHYAD KHYAD means you. THAM DU means the one who wants to get liberation. DE BZHIN KYANG TSAL LO You should do the practice as I did.

Yeah, good. As we mentioned many times, it's very unusual for Tsongkapa to talk about his own self. It's very unusual for him to brag.

Grandpa brags all the time, but Tsongkapa will not brag at all. This is very, very beautiful that he says, Look, this is what I did in my life, and I think you guys might want to try the same thing. It's very beautiful.

And he keeps repeating it. All right, Gibson, this is a short one, so we should pick on somebody. Okay, Ana Eli.

Thank you, Gibson.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you, Gibson.

[Speaker 1]
Nice, good reading, good reading. Let's translate, Gibson. Okay, the perfection of wisdom has three sections.

The number one is how to meditate on wisdom. And number two, how to combine the shamatha and vipashyana together. And the third is how to protect those two, which is nyam je.

Nyam is exchanging in... Oh no, here nyam means nyam shak. Nyam shak, oh, the meditation?

Yeah, during the session, and then je. Yeah, and aftermath. Okay, okay.

Yeah, okay, good. By the way, gyeong here, the verb gyeong, about 5% of the time it doesn't mean protect at all. It just means to continue or to undertake.

Undertake. How to do it. How to do it.

Along with certain nyen laks. Along with certain subdivision? Yeah, then we're going to give you some more details about...

Okay, nice. So, nyam je nikak gyeongso means how to conduct your practice both on the cushion and off the cushion. Okay, as Connie would say.

And I remind you guys that we have a YSI program coming up at the end of this month. And we're going to start a new book called Hatha Yoga Padipika. It's the best book on all the practices of yoga.

It's the best one ever written in Sanskrit like that. It's going to be a two-year course, and it's amazing, I have to say. All right.

Who are you going to torture, Gibson? Oscar. Yeah.

Hola. Hola. Okay, nice.

What was Dongpo, Gibson? Yeah, how to meditate on wisdom. Yeah, how to practice wisdom, good.

And he says how to practice wisdom we're going to cover in two sections. First is... The feature or the benefit of it.

Nice, nice, perfect. And then secondly? The secondly is how to meditate on it.

Yeah, how to actually do it. So he promises us two sections, and the first section has two names. It's a little confusing.

The first section is the features of wisdom and its benefits. And then the second section is how to do it. And it's in the next lines.

We're going to skip the lines. And this is a... I'm going to split it here, Gibson, so you can torture somebody.

Okay. Uta. Oh, this is French for all those yoga classes.

Thank you. Do I start at she? Yep.

Genne. Yeah, cool. Yeah, so there are sum kinds of shirup.

There are three kinds of wisdom. And the first of those three is called jiktawa tokpay shirup. The wisdom of realizing the way it is.

Nice, perfect translation. The wisdom that realizes how things are. And then there's two more, sok, etc.

He does not name them. Then he says, but the sokwo in this case... We are going to focus on.

Good, great translation, is the first one. Which means the wisdom that sees how things are. Now if you're a mixed nut...

What are the other two? Yeah, you better give the people the other two. Grandpa didn't do that when he was preparing the class, which means you're going to have to do it.

You guys are going to have to look in the Lam Rim. Search the Lam Rim for this one in Gopher, and then see what it says for the other two. Here you are, Gibson.

All right, that's part of your homework. And by the way, Adam, we forgot to give you a homework, and it was the next week. All right.

Okay, who's reading, Gibson? Maribel Chumzon. Lam du nguyok shing.

Nice. The wisdom which stop us sub dun. What's that, Gibson?

The wisdom that realize the thing it is. How the thing works. Yeah, or the deep.

Oh, the deep. When you see profound, it's a code word for... Emptiness.

Emptiness, good. So the DE KHO NAS GNYIS of CHOS. The suchness of everything.

Good. We talked about it, yeah. This wisdom is like MIG, which sees that.

Oh, this wisdom is like the eye, which sees... Which sees the suchness of things. And it also takes the tsawa of korwa.

It also takes the roots of the samsara, the cycle of things. Good. And now you're going to have to come up with two different words for samsara, because SIPA, like SIPA'I KOR LO, the Wheel of Life, he says SIPA equals korwa.

So in here, there's an equal sign. Sorry. That's what he's saying.

SIPA equals korwa. So you're going to have to come up with two different words for samsara. The root text says SIPA.

And then Choney Lama says, oh, that means korwa. That means samsara. Tsawa jin.

Do you guys know jin, this spelling? To rip out? Yeah, this jin, this spelling of jin means to pull a root of a tree out of the ground.

It means to pull it out and destroy it. Trung ne means from the very bottom. What does it rip out?

The roots of marigpa. Oh, sorry. Marigpa, which is the roots of samsara.

The roots of samsara, which is the misunderstanding. Good. Nice, nice, nice.

And this is the path. Shadow Wisdom is the path that does that. Okay, who's next, Mr. Gibson?

Alex Rivas.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you, Gibson. Thank you, Gibson. Nice, nice.

[Speaker 1]
Good pronunciation, Alex. YUM GYI RDO, what's that, Gibson? The Mother Sutra.

Which is? Which is the conqueror's highest spoken word. Yeah, good.

In all of those sutras, wisdom is nakpa. Wisdom is the one we praise. Yeah, it is praised in all the scriptures.

Oh, it is. Okay. And it is like a der of yun dens.

The mining gold? Yeah. Or gold mine.

Like a gold mine, yeah. Der literally means a big deposit of precious stuff underground. I guess there are some people, they will try to find the scripture under the ground.

Oh yeah, that's called derma. Derma. Derma, yeah.

Okay. Derma, yeah. By the way, anyway, there's a lot of debate about those.

And by the way, there's a Christian group that did the same thing in America. Very famous, I don't know, 150 years ago or something. DER MONG BA'I DI DMOGS KYI...

It's ZAL BA'I DI DMOGS. Okay. Clear away the DMOGS.

The darkness of ignorance. Why didn't you say... Oh yeah, SEL means the verb, right?

Yeah. That's the actor. How?

Yeah, how ZAL BA'I DI DMOGS. Okay, no DMOGS. ZAL BA'I BYAS PA'I BRGYUN MED The lamp.

Yeah, wisdom is the highest lamp. DRAG PA means everybody knows. Like Choney Dharpa.

Sorry, Losang Dharpa. Something here. So these two verbs are parallel, just so you know.

SNGAGS PA and DRAG PA are parallel here. It's praised and it is everyone talks about. Well known.

Yeah, okay. All right. Who's going to read this little piece, Gibson?

Ella Lu. Ella? Hi.

Hey. Hey. Hey, Ella, this coffee I'm having right now is from G Coffee.

Thank you for that. I'm so glad you like it. I'm not hinting, I'm just enjoying it.

Yeah, so NI PHAN NI DE LTA GZHAN NAS SOGS TE Nice. What's that mean? Oh, it means number two, okay?

The second section. Now, I showed you what it came from, and Ella wants to read this too, because the other one was so short. Don't get upset, Ella, we're going to let you read some more.

She's like... TAM PO LA YAK KIT CHU KIT CHO SEM PEN YOD TANG YUNG TANG DONG SOG NI LA LAS Thank you, Ella, good job. Translate, Gibson.

Okay, so the first one is the special feature or the benefit of the wisdom, and the second one is how do we practice them. Didn't we have this structure in somebody else's text recently? Nick's text, maybe?

Yeah, it was Nick's text. They kept repeating the same structure. First I'll tell you how cool it is, and then I'll tell you how to do it.

Right, Nick? I think so. Same structure.

All right, we're going to skip the rude text, and who are you going to pick on, Gibson? I'm going to pick on Lubsang Menubogelse. Thank you.

SU DE LTAR SHES NE LTAR PA NDOG PA'I KHYAD PA'I NYI LAM DE NYID PAS PA DU MA RANG RGYUD LA DU ME DU ME RANG RGYUD LA KHYAD PAR TSE DO Okay, good reading by the way. Thank you. See, you moved to Canberra, you can read well.

SU DE LTAR SHES NE Once you SHES this SU Once you know how the sleep works. Good, nice. If you are a LTAR PA NDOG PA'I KHYAD PA If you are a master who want to get a liberation.

Yeah, you should PAS PA DU MA about this LAM. You should put a lot of effort on this path. Good.

And then you will be able to KHYAD PA it in your RGYUD. Then you will be able to develop the wisdom in your mind stream. Yeah, good.

I want you to read the next one Gibson. And then I think Nick it will be time to recap, right? Okay.

Read this one, it's kind of sexy. Okay. GONG DU SBYUD PA'I PHYIN DU SOGS SO'I NGO BO YOD PA SOGS KHYAD PA NI DI MA THU THOG PA'I LAM RIM CHEN MO SOGS LAS SHES PA CHA ZHING DUN DU PA ZHIG KHO BA'I LAM RIM MA PHYID DU SHES SHING TOG SHING TOG SHING TOG Okay, good.

These PHYIN DUGS which I ZHOD PA GONG These six perfections that I explained above. Nice. If you want to know each one's NGO BO If you want to know the essence of each one?

Yeah, kind of the definition of each one. And if you want to know the YE BAS If you want to know the... Different?

The different divisions inside of each one. Oh, okay. In more GYES PA In more extensive.

Yeah. Now here's the idiom. I think you might know it.

MANG DU THOG MANG DU THOG It's a lot. It's very suspicious. Yeah, I was afraid it would be too much for this little book.

THOG PA means I was a little nervous that it would be too much for this little book. So if you... You can shape a jar from the LAM RIM CHEN MO.

You could check the LAM RIM CHEN MO to grab that. Yeah, thanks a lot Choney Lama. Or, if you want something more DUN DUG PA If you want to know something more briefly.

Yeah, if you don't have time to read the thousand page LAM RIM CHEN MO You could check the LAM RIM MA RTI. MA RTI Respect Nation This is... What is MA RTI you guys?

You know. Isn't it like a... A red examination?

We call it a dissection teaching. What's that mean? It means it's...

It goes into all the details like a surgeon goes into a body? Yeah, like they teach medical students in the medical college. They take a dead body and they cut it up.

And they show them each organ by one. That's called MA RTI. It's called a red teaching.

And it means... I like to call it a dissection teaching. They say, oh, here's what giving is.

Here's what morality is. Here's what's concentration. They point to each one, one by one.

Like a dead body. It's called a dissection teaching. Who wrote it?

Kowal. Is that Losanchuki Yeltsin? Kowal means by me.

Yeah, so MA RTI, Nick, is a... What do you call that? Genre.

Yeah, it's a genre of Lamrim. And there have been many MA RTIs. So when you see Lamrim MA RTI in a book, you have to figure out which MA RTI they're talking about.

Sheh Simba, I Sheh Simba that already. I have already explained. Yeah, yeah.

If you don't want to struggle through Tsongkhapa, he's advertising his shorter Lamrim. He probably has a QR code in there somewhere. By the way, we're going to have a QR code for the Chinese New Year show tonight, right Hasso?

[Speaker 2]
Yes, maybe even more tonight.

[Speaker 1]
Try to carve it by tonight, okay? Okay, Gibson, you're going to give us a summary of what we did today? Okay, so today we talked about the perfection of meditative concentration.

And if you can get that, you can control your mind like the kingdom, the king control his whole country. And if you can go into deep meditation, and after the meditation, you can engage with all the virtuous objects, that everything you do, you could get it down very easily. And then we go to how to...

We should follow those great practitioners or yogis in the past, and we should practice that then. So in the perfection of wisdom, it's particularly unique because it has three divisions, unlike the other five have two divisions. So the first one is how to meditate on the wisdom and how to combine the gratitude and great insight.

And the third one is how to maintain in the meditation and after the meditation. So this is the one we are going to talk about in the following class. Yay, good job.

Now you're hoping I forgot to give you some homework, but I didn't. I would like you to do... Whoa, that's a long one.

Can you do the next two paragraphs? Starts with Mikpala Tsechik. Yeah, cool.

All right. Okay, if you live in Arizona, you're welcome to take a nap. Yay.

Okay, good job. Uncle Nick, anything? Thank you, Geshe-la.

I think I need to take a nap too. You're even earlier than we are. Yeah, it's seven now.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. You know, what did Virupa do? Who?

Virupa. Oh, he made the sun stay up? Yeah, he got a knife and he pinned the sun in the sky so he wouldn't have to get up early.

It's not a bad idea, actually. You can work on that, okay? I am.

Thank you, Geshe-la. Thank you, Geshe-la. All right, we'll see you guys this evening.

Thank you, Geshe-la. Great class and great homework. Thank you.

The afternoon yoga class will be subbed by Alex Rivas, so if you're a big fan of Rivas, and I don't know why you wouldn't be, go to the afternoon yoga class with him. Nick, is it true he's going to sing Frank Sinatra's song in the yoga class? Of course, doesn't he always?

Okay, see you guys later. See you. And for people who want to stay on for the yoga class now, we'll be starting in 15 minutes, and I'll be teaching yoga today.

Thank you. So...
